Rhonda's Renal Relay

This GoFund Me was organized to help with both medical and personal expenses for Rhonda while in the hospital and during her journey to find a donor. Many expenses incur with such a strong need for medical attention. Various ER trips, doctor visits, and dialysis alone costing an average of $72,000 a year. Below is a plea for help from Rhonda's children, Ansleigh and Jordan. If you can help in any way, financially or otherwise, PLEASE DO. Sharing this would mean the world... let's get the word out and find this amazing, selfless woman a kidney!

"Please help find a kidney for my sweet mom. Currently, she takes care of our grandma who has dementia while she is undergoing dialysis. She provides care for her grandbabies and deserves to see them grow up. My mom puts everyone before herself and she deserves the help. I’ve never known a more selfless soul. I trust God’s timing but it can never hurt to ask for help. She has been in and out of the hospital and trying to be as strong as she can for us. —She’s type O blood type— which is the hardest to find because you can only receive from another type O. They offer an exchange program that allows you to swap for another blood type. Some people wait for years and many die while waiting. We are grateful for any kind of assistance and support even if it’s just to add Mama to your prayers. Please spread the word
